Gay diplomat to give talk

A TALK by the first openly gay British High Commissioner to serve overseas will be held to mark LGBT History Month in East Lothian next Thursday.

Simon Scaddan will give an insight into the challenges of coming out later in life and the difficulties he faced as a gay man in a public role.

The event will take place at the Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh from 7pm. LGBT Youth Scotland and the LGBT Centre for Health and Wellbeing will also attend the event.
